Abstract: A technique for broadcasting program material together with encoded items of information pertaining to the program material such as the title of a broadcast musical piece, the artist name, catalog number, and the like. A number of sources of recorded program material are provided at a broadcast site, and encoded information data pertaining to the program material is processed for transmission from the site with the broadcast program material. A receiver reproduces the program material and, upon entry of a memory command, decodes and stores the transmitted items of information data in a memory. Sets of stored information data relating to selected broadcasts can later be retrieved from the memory and output by a display and/or a printer device.
